This is a side effect of a bad use of the system, it should never get in input 
a noise or silence wave file, it should be rejected by the voice/silence 
detection. We will take a look at this problem as soon as possible.

We tried to fix it but it's a lium library bug. We have reported it to the lium 
SpkDiarization team. We hope to have a solution as soon as possible.

We are dealing with it and, as said before, maybe it's an issue about Lium lib 
(no answers from them). By the way, the sample you attach was not recorded by a 
microphone, it is an unnatural no energy signal, not sure this make any 
difference.
Is it really useful? The project aims to recognize voices, the U gender should 
never be the desired output... What's your application domain? Have you single 
files or a big file to split by diarization?

You can alternatively rebuild the models of silence and genders used by the 
system, they should be located at /usr/local/share/voiceid/ in your system.
